Sunny Hill Resort & Golf Course

Throwback resort in the Catskills, great for kids and all ages alike. Started coming here in 2021 and it has become a family tradition. Seeing families return and the kids becoming friends over the years is a special kind of thing that isn’t the norm any more. We look forward to coming back in 2025.

My parents discovered this gem of a place in 1946, and I had my first visit in July of 1952, at age 18 months. I let my father drive that year, but I was reading the road map for him. Sunny Hill and the Nicholsens and their staff really are my second home and family. I just booked my first three 2024 visits for May, June and July, and I can't wait. From fishing to food and mountain views to military vehicles, there is something for everyone of every age. AND you get to feed goats who don't bite your fingers!! (Don't try that with the Snapping Turtles around Lake Loree!!)

Nicholsons and staff alwzys courteous. Food is plentiful. Accommodations clean and roomy.View is spectacular. Plenty of things to do or in my case just relax. Awesome family get away that my family has been doing for over 40 years. We never tire of our yearly visit.

From the minute you arrive at Sunny Hill, you are spoiled with pleasant staff, very accommodating and they offer many activities, suited for ALL ages. Your choice of room sizes can accommodate your family/groups. The views are breathtaking, you truly are surrounded by greenery and mountains, it never gets old, I can never get tired of taking in the views from our Balcony room in the Parkchester. Then theres the LAKE, another great spot for fishing, boating or just hanging out by one of the many playground areas. The meals are delicious and served in a Dining Room overlooking the mountains, manicured fields of green. The Pavillion , by the Lake, offers so many great times for BBQ's and live music. The Entertainment is non-stop from morning till night, including sports, Rides, so many rides, Live Bands, DJ, Games like Bingo, horse racing, it goes on and on. Never a Lull in the moment on this Sunny Hill Vacation.

I decided to return to Sunny Hill Resort following my last visit in 1969. It is exactly the same! Also ran into workers who are descendants of workers I recall from 54 years ago. Clean, well maintained and friendly place. Nice clean rooms, 3 squares a day, and lots of activities. Very attentive and accessible owners and staff. Good natured guests and very safe and fun for kids. Almost like going back in time to a kinder gentler era. My faith in humanity is restored.

Sunny Hill is family oriented and has been visited by many of the same families year after year! It has been a favorite of ours for more years than I want to admit! It is so refreshing and relaxing! Love it!

My very large family has been coming here for years, now in our 3rd generation! Sunny Hill Resort is a well oiled machine! Beautiful atmosphere, accommodations, and views! SOO much to do! Our kids “dream about Sunny Hill” all year long.. in fact THAT is their comment to each other whenever they leave each other during the year. We’re so lucky to have found this gem in the Catskills and are forever grateful for the memories made there.

4 generations have been making memories here for the last 52 years. The family who owns it becomes your family. A place where everybody knows your name. Golf. Pool. Splash pad, Playgrounds. Lake for fishing. Canoing and row boats. Entertainment games, contests Trips, Bbqs, all meals and the famous Friday night lake party complete with fireworks. The quote goes. People might not remember what you said, but they will always remember how you made them feel. Sunnyhill makes everyone feel special.

My family and neighbors use to go to this place back when I was a kid. It was called Sunny Hill Farm back then, but looking at some of the pictures brings back so many good memories. We went every year for at least 4 or 5 years and always had a wonderful time. I was like 9,10,11, and 12 and now I'm in my 60's so it has been a very long time. I did go back once in my 20's and met some wonderful people .....I will always remember my experience and how wonderful all the good was. This is a true fact.....my father saved a little boy from drawing in the pool. We were sitting and talking and he saw a little boy having trouble, he jumped in, glasses and money and all and picked him up. They honored him that night a dinner.. I truly am so happy that you are still bringing families together ------ Thank you for letting me share my story. Sincerely, Paula Gillen
